Green Mosque Minaret

The minaret of the Pier Street Mosque next to the Settlers Freeway in South End.  The mosque nearly made way for an off ramp in the 1970's with the minaret already removed by the time that the international community got involved and stopped the Apartheid government from proceeding with the demolition.  The Masjied-Ul-Aziz, (Pier Street Mosque) was officially opened in July 1901.
